Zampira World Cup Promo winner surrenders ticket to in-law
Zampira Promotion’s World Cup ticket winner Manson Gondwe will not travel to Russia to watch the final on health grounds.
Instead, he has surrendered the ticket to his in-law Zondwayo Mgemezulu who has since picked Inkosi ya Makhosi M’mbelwa V to accompany him to Russia.
Gondwe, who is a Mzimba-based businessperson and a Be Forward Wanderers fan, won the ticket after correctly predicting the outcome of a game between Nchalo United and Silver Strikers.
Speaking during the handover ceremony of the air tickets at TNM Shop in Mzimba on Wednesday, Gondwe thanked TNM for the promotion which he said is helping people to live their dream by winning different prizes.
He said: “I would have loved to travel to Russia and watch the finals live but I have problems with my legs so I have chosen my brother-in-law Zondwayo and my chief to represent me and watch the match.”
Inkosi ya Makhosi M’mbelwa V thanked Gondwe for giving the two an opportunity to watch the World Cup final in Russia.
“It is a great honour to be recognised by my subject. He would choose his relatives but he opted for me,” he said.
TNM regional distribution manager for the North Yamikani Bakuwa said the two tickets demonstrate company’s commitment in fulfilling its promises to soccer lovers.
“We are very excited to handover the tickets to the winners of Zampira, which is a life-changing promotion helping supporters to live their dreams. Watching the World Cup live is an experience the two will live to remember,” he said.
TNM will spend about K15.2 million for the trip which include entry tickets for match, air tickets, accommodation and meals.
The two are expected to leave on July 13 and return on July 17 after watching the finals scheduled for July 15 at the imposing 81 000-capacity Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
